We had a very good turnout of Company members and other volunteers to interact with pupils visiting the careers showcase day on Tuesday 27th February. The team had expertise in the Fire & Rescue Services, fire detection systems, fire research, fire risk assessment, apprenticeships and fire heritage. Many thanks to all those who gave assistance with this event.

The Worshipful Company of Firefighters Charitable Trust

Closely associated with, but operating as a separate entity from the Worshipful Company of Firefighters, the Charitable Trust is a registered charity (number 1182241) with ten Trustees who are responsible for all aspects of its operation and are all members of the Worshipful Company.

The Charitable Trust realises that the world of the Fire Industry and the Fire and Rescue Service, like many sectors, is changing at a considerable pace and we will shortly be looking at the current core charities to see if these reflect the changing environment. We will also consider what else we can do in the youth and young persons sector.
